Adorable Documented 6x6 One Sheet Wonder Cards

I took out my 6x6 One Sheet Wonder instructions yesterday and created a completely different set of cards by switching up the papers to Documented, and using a different stamp set.  

These turned out so cute!

If you want to get a copy of my 6x6 One Sheet Wonder, it is only $3 CAD.

Cheaper than a cup of coffee.  :)

*For my fellow Consultants, this would be great tool for building a card buffet stash...  (wink,wink)

Happy creating!  :)

Mermaid Birthday Wishes

Here is a cute mermaid card I made with papers from the CTMH Make Waves paper packet.

I have an old piece of clear transparency sheet that I punched some different sizes of circles into.

I used this as an overlay to add White pigment ink to my paper, giving it the bokeh effect, which I think in this case, it works more like bubbles in the water.

And the mermaid was cut out of one of the patterned papers in the Make Waves paper packet.

I added some shimmer to the mermaid with my Clear Shimmer Brush.

And I coloured the Clear Sparkles and Bitty Sparkles with a Marigold ShinHan marker.

Make Waves is available only until the end of April, so get yours while you can!

Happy creating!  :)

Have a Blast! Stargazer...

The Stargazer stamp set with matching Thin Cuts dies is so fun to play with!

My card was completely inspired by this one by Mercedes Berg (you will have to scroll down to see hers).

Happy creating!  :)

Colourful Super Girl Card

Here is a very colourful card I made with the Super Girl stamp set and matching Thin Cuts dies.

It totally reminds me of tie-died t-shirts.  lol

Happy creating!  :)

Bam! A Super Boy Card

For today's card, I used the Super Boy stamp set and Thin Cuts dies, along with Stargazer papers.

The images in this set are just so cute!

And they are a lot of fun to colour.

Happy creating!  :)

Super Girl Card

Super Girl... she's so cute!

I used a pattern from the new Make It From Your Heart Vol. 4.

The adorable images are from the new Super Girl Stamp & Thin Cuts dies.

And the papers are from the Make Waves paper packet.

She was a lot of fun to colour with my ShinHan markers.

Happy creating!  :)

Stargazer Birthday Card #2

Here is another card I made using the same blending inks technique as my last card I shared.

I also used the same NEW Stargazer Cardmaking stamp set with matching Thin Cuts dies.

The stamp set is available just by itself, too.

On this one, I cut the circle out of the the upper center portion of a piece of White Daisy cardstock, and then used 3D foam tape to adhere it to my ink sponged card front.

There are so many possibilities with this set!

Happy creating!  :)

Stargazer Birthday Card #1

I played around with blending inks this past Friday to make some fun cards with some of the new products offered in the NEW CTMH Seasonal Expressions catalog.  

I tend to go in spurts of things/techniques I like to play with.

So you will likely be seeing more cards from me over the next little while using this technique.

On the background circle (White Daisy cardstock), I blended Lagoon, Sapphire and Pacifica inks with seperate sponges.

The whitish splatters are from blending a little Pearl paint (long retired) mixed with water, and dipping my small paintbrush into it, then tapping the brush handle against the edge of my finger just above the cardstock piece.

I believe you can do the same with the CTMH White Daisy pigment ink re-inker, although I don't have a bottle of it to try it out.  ;)

The adorable little spaceman on my card is from a brand NEW set called Stargazer Cardmaking stamp set.  It is also available to purchase along with the matching Thin Cuts Dies.

The spaceship paper is from the NEW Stargazer Paper Packet.

And this is the NEW Seasonal Expressions catalog!

You can view it online HERE.

So much fun packed into a little catalog!

Unicorn Love... Little Dreamer

Even though I don't currently have any little girls in my life, I just simply had to get Little Dreamer!

I used the Little Dreamer Cardmaking bundle (stamp set with matching Thin Cuts dies) to create these sweet unicorn birthday cards.

So sweet!

On a side note, I am so happy to say that I just completed my Little Dreamer Workshop and got it sent off to be proofed yesterday!

The new CTMH Little Dreamer WYW Kit is so fun to create with!

I will announce when it is ready to go.

Happy creating!  :)

Adorable Little Dreamer Cards

As I mentioned in my last post, these are the adorable Little Dreamer cards we made at the CTMH Spring Up Event in April.

We used papers from the NEW Little Dreamers paper packet, the NEW Little Dreamer Cardmaking Stamp set with matching Thin Cuts dies, the NEW Little Dreamer Glitter Gems, and White Shimmer Trim.

So cute, I am in love the unicorns!!!

Happy creating!  :)

Random Stamped Some Kinda Wonderful Card Set

I had fun stamping a 6" x 6" piece of White Daisy cardstock, colouring it in with my ShinHan Touch Twin markers, and cutting it up to create the following 3 cards.

I am really loving the bright colours right now, especially at this time of year when I look outside my windows and everything outside is white, grey or brown.

Happy creating!  :)

• Z2461 Peacock Green
• Z2454 Leaf Green

Super cute card and easy to make!

Jesse's Q&A Mini Album

One of my friend's youngest child turned 7 last week.

He is such a cutie!

A few days before that, I came across my son's Q&A book I made for him when he was 6, and with it fresh on my mind, I asked my friend if she would like me to make one of these mini albums for her son.  

She did.  :)

Using the same questions I had asked Cole so many years ago, she asked her son those questions, and using his answers, this is the mini album I made for him.

Using the leftover scraps from my (retired) CTMH Urban paper pack and Complements, I also made him this birthday card.

Happy creating!  :)
